Not the greatest car of the 70's, but then neither were Cortina's and everybody thought they were the bees knees back then.

Dad's 1.3 Marina van would leave a 1.3 Escort van from the lights for dead, just it wouldn't go round a corner or stopsmiley: laugh


IMHO the Cortina is/was a way better car than a Marina, I have owned several of both.


Yeah, f%%d looked at the Vauxhall Viva and FD Victor suspension and copied it for the Mk3 Snotina. They did the same with the Droop Snoot as well with the Mk 2 Arris 2000.
I sense a little hatred towards the Ford marque there!! Luckily for me  I don't wear blinkers so own both Vauxhall AND Ford smiley: roll
